Based on data from Cistrome Cancer, we found that among the five genes (ESPL1, KIF14, TUBG1, KIF11, FOXM1) with the highest correlation with DDX23 expression, four genes (ESPL1, KIF14, TUBG1, KIF11) were potential target genes of FOXM1 (Regular potential score, 0.943365, 0.96575, 0.644621, 0.988351, respectively) (Supplementary Table 6). Here, KIF14 is linked to cancer.
